There's not a chance in hell OKC does that trade without SGA after the playoff series he had vs GSW as a rookieI don't think OKC was that hard up for SGA. I don't remember anyone reporting that they were demanding SGA in the trade. His salary + Gallo salary matched so all the clippers had to give up was two players. OKC cared more about the picks.
SGA would be doing exactly what PG been doing with Kawhi, playing second banana until he get hurt and then crumbling under the pressure of trying to be a number one on a team designed for him to be the number 2.
This SGA revisionist history is ridiculous
Go find 3 people when that trade happen who said "oh know the clippers should not try and get PG they should keep this rookie averaging 13 3 and 3 this is a terrible trade for the clippers
Doc making it sound like Kawhi Leonard was the GM, Coach, and POBO talking about he tried to convince him not to trade SGA
He wants to win now because coaches are on a shorter grace period these days
Ime lacks vision. He’s impatient. He didn’t even want to start Sengun. Luckily sengun balled out. But Ime wanted to start Brook Lopez. He got criticized at end of season post conference for what he said about Jalen Green when asked what advice he would give him going forward, and he said start earlier. ppl said how can he figure it out and start earlier when he has the weakest of the holiday brothers playing ahead of him in crucial situations
I swear back in 2020 Doc flat out said he was the one who brought up Paul George/put his name down as a list of available stars for Kawhi to choose from that they (LAC) would get for him no problem, if he were to sign with them
That's where the whole "it's a packaged deal" came from, because after KL said ok cool I choose PG, Doc had to then explain to Ballmer what he just promised and Ballmer was like WTF did you just do?
So now, 5 years later... Doc wants to spin it that he was the voice of reason and everyone else was trippin?
